2021 KTM 890 Adventure Price £10,999 (R - £11,999) Usually when a new model comes out it gives the manufacturer the opportunity to add a few hundred pounds on the price and blame inflation or exchange rates, but this isn’t the case with KTM.

Red Bull athlete Chris Birch conquers new terrains on a KTM 1090 ADVENTURE R. Experiencing a true Adventure on sandy paths, wide beaches, rocky passages, gra

I've noticed that KTM has different procedures for setting the 1090/1190 chain tension. The 2015 1190S manual says 40-45mm on the side stand. The 2016 1190R manual says 40-45mm on the center stand. It would make sense if it was the other way round as the R has longer swingarm travel.
You need to take the sensor out of the tank, and sand down the float inside the tube. This is the only way to fix the issue with the gauge reading incorrectly. There are tons of info out there on the issue across all big twins (1290-1090) as well as some video's on youtube on the issue. Took me maybe 20 min max.
Product Features. You will need to either have longer front brake lines made for your bike, or relocate the brake distribution block to use this long travel kit on your KTM 1190 Adventure R.

KTM’s power numbers are often the highest in the class and the new 790 Adventure is no different, boasting 95 horsepower @ 8,000 rpm and 64.9 ft-lbs @ 6,600 rpm from its 799cc engine. On the numbers, the 790 Adventure bests its closest rivals – the BMW F850GS and Triumph Tiger 800.
In short: The 990 is a modern classic. The 1090 R is a new bike with nice features and a feel like the modern 990, that looks 75 % as cool as the 990. #2. Beeee, goodcat8, Apple Jam and 2 others like this. coolrunnings , Sep 25, 2017.
The 1x90 airbox thing is a 3-fold issue, the 1st issue having been fixed by KTM, the 2nd issue being pretty common to all bikes, and the 3rd issue being outliers. Issue 1 - The early bikes (13-14 1190's) had a filter retention design where air could get around the filter itself because it didn't seal the filter properly.
Despite a few niggles like airbox sealing, air filter access (fixed on the new design), and fuel pumps, that 1090/1190/1290 platform is a solid bike. I’d have no issues putting my money down on one. The 790/890 on the other hand is a pile of garbage. The list of problems I’ve seen on these bikes is a mile long and growing by the day. Perhaps most tantalizing is the 1090 Adventure R’s more affordable MSRP of $14,699. While the KTM’s 1050cc V-Twin delivers 21 more horsepower to the rear wheel than Honda’s 998cc parallel-Twin, the Honda’s 270-degree crank gives it a V-Twin-like feel, and its lively response is appreciated whether on the pavement or in the dirt.
Adventure tourers – KTM currently produces the 1090 Adventure, 790 Adventure, 390 Adventure, and 1290 Super Adventure dual-sport adventure bikes in versions with different seat height, wheels and suspensions that endow the machines with a road (S), off-road (R – for rally) or touring (T) bias.

This reduces the contact area and slows down heat transfer. They have incorporated a patented, insulated reflective blanket on the underside of the shield to KTM 1090 / 1190 Adventure / R / 1290 Super Adventure / R Comfort Single Piece Sport Seat.

I've been toying the idea of getting myself an 1090R for a while. Now I'm reading in the italian forum that the speed is limited to 200km/h. A couple of inmates actually tried and the bike cuts out at 207km/h (odometer) or 199km/h (GPS). This has been confirmed by KTM Italy, with incredibly stupid justifications.

South West United Kingdom. Having talked with my local KTM dealer this morning it would appear that on the 1290 Adventure bikes, all of them, R,S, T & even the GT, the anti-wheelie mode can not be disabled, switching off the ABS and TC leaves it working - on the 1290SDR you can purchase the Track-Pack which enables Anti-Wheelie Mode off while

First, it's clearly my mistake, since it's well known that KTM's bikes are as reliable as Japanese bikes. Maybe I'm just talking from my experience. I have owned 3 KTM's, 2 bmw's and 7 japanese bikes. 0 problem with the japanese brands, a lot of troubles with 1 bmw, small problems on 1 of my ktm's and a lot of problems on another of my ktm's.
